1) Keep the grill outdoors and away from flammable structures
You should always grill outside. Grilling in your garage or home can put you at a high risk for fires. When you are grilling outside you don’t want to risk an accidental fire spreading to your deck, awning, or even your house.
2) Keep kids and pets a safe distance away
Children and pets can make fast and unexpected movements. They often don’t understand how hot the grill can get while on. Make sure you watch any small children or pets around the grill to prevent burns or injury.
3) Never leave grill unattended
While you keep an extra eye on the kids and animals, you will also not want to leave the grill unattended. If you have to leave the grill, have another adult keep an eye on the food and the people around.
4) Wear safe clothing
As important as it is to keep others safe around the grill, it is just as important to keep yourself safe. Restrain from wearing loose hanging clothing while grilling to prevent any garments from catching on fire.
5) Clean your grill after every use
This is a tip that often gets overlooked. Remember to clean any old food build up, grease pans, or trays after using them. It is important to clean your grill after every use to help prevent built up grease and old food from causing grease fires.
